More a case of "confidently lying"
More likely a case of "confidently being paid to lie"
A lot of useful idiots do it for free
“Notice me Putin Senpai!”
I have to admit, the number of people who simp for Authoritarians is much higher than I thought it would ever be.
Imagine posting this drivel on the Internet and you're not even getting any money for making such a fool of yourself in public
It seems to happen in a lot of areas today. This generation let a lot things erode because of it. I remember people defending the introduction of ads on to the internet.
"Its just a 30 second skippable ad. Stop complaining",
"so what they collect a little data, they want to gear ads to their audience",
"Its 4 consecutive 2 min unskippable ads, who cares. Not the end of the world",
"they built a profile of you that lists everyone you know through social media using the tools and methods they learned from these ad systems. The profile lists all your motivations, wants and needs based off your favorite Mr. Beast shorts that they use to target political ads meant to radicalize you and if not you then your friends, Dada, uncles, moms, sisters. Shut up and drink your athletic greens."
Daily reminder that you can opt out of Google's advertising "personalisation". They don't advertise this ability for obvious reasons.
But isn't everything tracked and sold now. I used reddit, they have a profile that gets sold. Youtube has my ip. My go to recipe site knows my favorite food. And all that is bought by ad companies how buy our attention from our favorite podcasts and videos who whore us out
The account has been suspended, so quite possibliy
If anything doesn’t that indicate that it’s not as likely, what with pedophiles, nazis, and what have you being let onto Twitter again in the name of “free speech?”
The difference between those groups and Russian propagandists is that you-know-who sympathises with the former but not the latter
Doesn't he though? He's gotten grumpy about helping the Ukranians with internet from time to time, and he's declared that Russia should get to keep Crimea. I bet if the invasion of Ukraine happened today he'd have refused to help Ukraine with Starlink at all, he's so far down the far-right rabbit hole.
I'm going to guess that Xwitter still kicks off accounts that are associated with bot farms and other astroturfing efforts and ythis may have been one of them.
I don't think he was lying just extremely arrogant who wouldn't want to be apart of the great Russian empire
